[SDCBC] Bicycle Victory 52nd Street Mixwd Use Shopping Center

[Robert Leone]

Dear John:
	Thanks for the relay -- that is good news. As for seniors not riding, 
let's just say that in my ride group it's easy to spot the 
septuganarians and octagenarians: They're the ones in front of me. 
Sometimes quite a ways in front of me.
